HSE Workforce Statistics

In 2009/10 the LBS findings suggests that an estimated 1.3 million people who had worked in the last 12 months, and a further 0.8 million former workers, suffered from ill health which they thought was work related.

On average, each person suffering from a work-related illness or a workplace injury took an estimated 15.9 days off work in the last 12 months (on average 20.8 days for ill health and 6.5 days for injury) (see http://www.hse.gov.uk/statistics/lfs/0809/swit1.htm

Stress, depression or anxiety and musculoskeletal disorders accounted for the majority of days lost in 2008/09, with an estimated 11.4 million and 9.3 million days off work (full-day equivalent) respectively (see Figures 6 and 7 and http://www.hse.gov.uk/statistics/lfs/0809/swit1.htm).

Of the estimated prevalence of individuals suffering from a work-related musculoskeletal disorder in 2008/09, an estimated 227 000 (42%) suffered from a disorder mainly affecting their back, 215 000 (40%) from a disorder mainly affecting their upper limbs or neck, and 96 000 (18%) mainly affecting their lower limbs (see Figure 1 and http://www.hse.gov.uk/statistics/lfs/0809/swit3w12.htm).

Reflexology Foot/Hand

Reflexology is a therapy that involves massaging and manipulating reflex pressure points/energy zones found on the feet and hands. These reflex points are believed to correspond to glands and organs within the body. By working these areas it can be used to treat the whole body by releasing, unblocking and alleviating any tension in order to restore and re-balance the body. Find out more
